Saint Paul's Augusta hosts Blessing of the Animals

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) - Hoping for good weather this Sunday for the annual Blessing of the Animals.

You're invited to bring your best "pet friend" for a celebration and blessing this Sunday at 4pm in the church courtyard of Saint Paul's Augusta downtown. The event, cosponsored by the Augusta Humane Society, is asking for a donation of needed items which will be collected at the blessing. Needed items include: Paper towels, bleach, Dawn detergent, 13-gallon trash bags, or monetary donations. All animals must be on a leash or in a carrier for the safety of all visitors and their pets to the service.

Stopping by the studio to tell us more about it is Father George Muir.
